Walter mitty wha.. what? There's more to it.

Two things inspired the start of my 2014. 1) The secret life of walter mitty. 2) Wong fu profuction's short clip ONE ft Wang Lee Hom

Live life how you want it to be.

Don't hesitate, just do it, take chances.

Take all that comes in your way with a stride of positivity.

Also inspired me to save more $ for travel. 
Iceland

Uhmazing landscape plus ben stiller rollerblading plus inspirational words on a sunburst photo #stating the obvious but can't help it

Cheers

It's really pretty awesome how God gently took my hand and led me through that brief period of downturn i was facing. From what you can guess was a pretty sad post a few days back, I'm back to my old self again. :D assuming my old self = a cheerful xu vin. hehe.

was feeling pretty distressed, demotivated and tot the future looked bleak when the clock struck 12 into 2014 that day. was thinking of all the challenges i'm bound to face in the journey of advancing further into my career (that has barely js begun). partly or mostly due to the fact that I'm in an enjoyable posting now and bound to switch department in a month plus or so, (keeping fingers crossed), into a new department that has a history (past, present, future lol) of being mind bogglingly challenging with stressed up bosses. plus a good friend is leaving soon. sad face.

today however God reminded and reassured me of His presence. that though i fear much, He is always there to guide me through hard times, that He will give me the strength and perseverance. and things that I cannot predict or foresee are all in His control. that reassurance was comforting. x10000 it wasn't a coincidence that I walked into Bread of Life this morning and was greatly encouraged by the pastor's sermon about Living God's word daily and by faith bcz His words are not just strong, they are sharp, beautiful, precious and powerful. I was reminded to speak words that build ppl up, to love others, to have grace for others, to offer help to the needy. Another thing, to look positively into every situation, be thankful and live a life of joy.

It might not sound much in words. But I was uplifted this morning. Thank you Lord. :))) Hallelujah! 

Hello 2014 and future. Cheers to more running, tracing lab results, searching for missing xrays, getting urgent scans, venepuncture, line setting, interesting cases, interesting patients, offdays that deserve celebration, awesome movies, discovering more good food, shopping sales, vacations, precious time in kuching, perks in the workplace, growing more in my journey with the Lord, rare but lovely sunsets!
i just thought it would be nice to put this up at the end js cz it's cute. grins.

2014 onwards

Reminiscence. That's looking into the past. Pondering and relieving memories good and bad, some vivid some less. That only lasts for the moment. up to the last page of that diary, or the last picture in the photo album, or the first post u ever wrote on ur blog. and it's back to reality. Hello 2014. i do sound a tad sombre. hmm.
Don't feel like going through the year album. Great year filled with graduation, trips, a great break back home and then bidding my comfort zone goodbye to start work in Sibu. can't complain though. the road has been pretty smooth so far. but when I look ahead, it doesn't seem so.
Lots of contemplations. Admire how motivated, goal oriented and determined some ppl can be. they're driven by ambition and passion. It's really admirable. It separates them from those who choose to sit back and live lax and wait for opportunities to come knocking on their door. Doesnt happen in today's world unless you've got the extra cable to pull u up. then again, any form of success still requires hard work and perseverance. Having quite some time on my hands now has driven me into deep contemplation. simple and complex ones. as simple as to study or not to. as complex as how far and where do i want to go in this field. ok la it's actually not complex. lol. lack of motivation makes me wonder how i can inject some passion and inspiration into myself to get that drive to easily answer that simple question i throw at myself.
ooookkayy... before this gets toooo emo and down sodden, i think i shud just live in the moment for the day, cut myself some slack, and start tmr. (easier said than done heheh).
